A
storm had started up in the night and a strong wind banged against
everyone's window sometimes causing the person in the particular
room to wake up abruptly. Everyone thought it was just one of those
freak storms that sometimes may happen but in the middle of a
blistering hot summer and right after the hottest day of the season.
Something big was going on and it wasn't the normal thing that
happens around Fallen River Valley.

Most
of the inhabitants of Fallen River Valley could get to sleep that
night but only a few could not sleep one of them was Kayo a 16 year
old boy who lived in the Plains district of the Fallen River Valley
along with his parents and younger sister, Kara.

Kayo
is a very mysterious young man who puts on an air of not liking
anyone and gets annoyed most of the time because the girls at Plain
district art school seemed to be attracted to him. No body seems to
leave him alone not even his parents but he doesn't care. Kayo has
straight shoulder length brown hair, deep brown eyes and fair skin.
Most of the time Kayo wears a white button up shirt, blue jeans and
black 'Globe' brand skate shoes but when he's in bed he wears
black shorts along with a blue short sleeved T-Shirt.

On
the particular night of the storm Kayo couldn't get to sleep so he
stared out his bedroom window from the wooden chair he was sitting on
and watched the rain pour down on the tiles of the small courtyard
that was outside his room. The rain drops hit the tiles hard causing
splashes of water when hitting the tiles or causing ripples in the
puddles of water that was spaced around the courtyard evenly like as
if someone placed them there.

The
rain didn't cease until midnight but something even stranger
happened after the rain had ceased. A bright light descended down
from the sky, slowly gliding down into the courtyard in front of
Kayo's very eyes. He watched with anticipation, waiting eagerly
until the bright light ebbed away to nothing. The courtyard returned
to darkness but Kayo saw the silhouette of a person fall to ground
making a loud thud. He was worried for whoever was out there but he
guessed that someone else would help that person.

Moments
passed slowly but no one went outside to help whoever fell to the
ground before. Kayo lit a lamp and walked to where he had thrown his
slippers hours ago and slipped his feet into them, glad of the warmth
they gave. He then tiptoed over to the sliding door that leads into
the courtyard, holding the lamp in front of him to see what was
ahead. After a couple of steps he saw who or I should say what had
fallen over.

It
was a young man probably the same age as him but there was something
strange about this man. It wasn't the wavy neck length black hair
that was strange nor his eyes which were a bright blue; it was the
grey wings that seemed to be attached to his back. The man had on a
pair of faded blue jeans and socks. Kayo stood still, watching the
man's chest move up and down as he breathed. Kayo noticed the man's
muscular arms and noticed the defined abbs. Kayo couldn't keep his
eyes of the man for one second and soon noticed that he felt somewhat
attracted to the guy. He knew that he couldn't leave the man
outside where it was cold and more likely for him to get cold
especially as the man had on pants and socks so he decided to take
action.

Kayo
dropped the lamp onto the ground to free his hands before lifting the
man gently from the ground. Kayo was surprised at how light the man
was but there was no time to figure out the man's weight. Kayo
hurried inside making sure that he didn't wake up either the part
naked man he was carrying or his family and laid the man on his own
bed. As Kayo laid the man on his bed he noticed that the man looked
rather calm and peaceful.

'This
has been a somewhat eventful night' Kayo thought to himself before
sitting back down on the chair.

He
slowly went to sleep after that having dreams of an angel being sent
out of heaven by God.

Kayo
woke up at seven in the morning due to the uncomfortable position he
had slept in. He slowly got up from the chair and stretched tiredly
before looking around his bedroom. Kayo realised that the man from
last night was gone so he guessed that it was all a dream caused by
both the rain and how he had fallen asleep on the chair in his
bedroom instead of on his bed.

Kayo
walked slowly over to his wardrobe and got out his jeans and shirt
which he was going to get his mum to iron when she woke up. He laid
them on his chair before going out into the courtyard which still had
small puddles of rain water in places. Kayo then saw the lamp he had
used in the night to see who had fallen onto the ground and realised
that it must not have been a dream after all. It must have really
happened. Kayo rushed back into his bedroom, slamming the door to the
courtyard behind him forgetting that people were sleeping still.

Kayo
paced, backwards and forwards in his room having a mental breakdown.

'How
can that guy be real, for goodness sake he has bloody wings,' Kayo
thought franticly.

Kayo
sat at the edge of his bed with his hands on top of his head hoping
that if he does that everything would return to normal, no strange
man with wings and no freak storm. That didn't work though because
after two minutes of staying in that position he heard a loud
clattering noise as someone was making breakfast, it was too early
for his parents to be up because it was a weekend and his sister
would be watching the tellie anyway.

Kayo
slowly stood up looking around cautiously before tiptoeing silently
to the door that lead to the lounge room. He placed his ear against
the door, listening to what was happening in the other room. Someone
was singing in a loud voice but the particular song that they were
singing was not a song that Kayo has heard before.

"Our
God is an awesome God he reins from Heaven above with wisdom power
and love our God is an awesome God," Someone sang at the top of
their voice.

Kayo
guessed that whoever was in there would be preoccupied with singing
so he slowly opened the door, making sure that it didn't creak and
quickly ran behind the lounge so no one can see him. Kayo wasn't
aware that the person in that room had heard his hurried footsteps
and now knew where he was. Kayo looked around the corner of the
lounge to see who was in his house but there was no one there.

'That's
strange,' Kayo thought to himself before letting out a sigh of
relief.

Kayo
hid back behind the lounge and relaxed for a little bit until someone
touched him lightly on the shoulder. Kayo turned around quickly and
saw the same man from last night except he was wearing a white
T-shirt with a logo on it and his wings had disappeared.

"Thanks
for bringing me inside last night otherwise I would of caught a
cold," the man thanked Kayo.

Kayo
stared blankly at the man, shaking a little bit from fear.

"I'm
Mitsuko and you are?" The man smiled as he said this.

"I-I
am Kayo," Kayo stuttered nervously, looking up at Mitsuko.

Mitsuko
squatted so as to be at the same height as Kayo who was still on the
ground. Kayo scrambled backwards trying to keep away from Mitsuko who
was now smiling at him but Mitsuko moved forward so as to stay near
Kayo. Soon Kayo was up against the wall, tears welled up in his eyes
and soon came rolling down his cheeks. Mitsuko's bright blue eyes
stared into Kayo's deep brown eyes and Mitsuko noticed the fear in
them.

"Get
away from me you monster," Kayo sobbed, "I'm not ready to die."

Mitsuko
tried to get closer to Kayo but when he got within kicking distance
of Kayo he started kicking Mitsuko.

"I'm
not here to tell you that you are going to die," Mitsuko said
softly as he stood up.

"Then
why are you here?" Kayo asked loudly.

Mitsuko
looked away from Kayo's face before letting out a sigh, he didn't
want to tell Kayo the reason why he was there but if he wanted that
boy to trust him he'll have to tell him the truth. Mitsuko turned
his face to look at Kayo who was still sitting on the ground.

"I
was sent out of Heaven by God," Mitsuko sighed sadly. "He sent me
to hell because I wasn't good enough for heaven but the Devil
wouldn't allow me into hell because I wasn't bad enough for hell.
I couldn't stay in heaven and I couldn't go to hell so now I am
what have called a fallen angel. I don't belong to Heaven or hell
so I have to stay on Earth because that is the only world between
Heaven and hell. I can't really remember why I was sent out of
Heaven, maybe because I wasn't watching over my human or something
like that."

Kayo
stood up slowly, gawking at Mitsuko as the wings from that night
appeared again on his back. The light of the sun that flooded the
room with light glistened on Mitsuko's grey wings giving them a
brilliant sheen. Kayo moved closer to Mitsuko so he could get a
better look at the huge pair of wings
but dared not to touch the delicate feathers that were on the pair of
large wings. Mitsuko noticed Kayo eyeing his wings so he spread them
out more.

"You
can touch my wings if you want," Mitsuko smiled at Kayo.

Kayo
came closer to Mitsuko, reaching out his right arm to touch one of
the wings. The feathers on that wing were very soft and felt kind of
like the down of a duckling. Kayo looked up at Mitsuko but this time
there was no fear in his eyes, there was only happiness. Mitsuko was
glad that Kayo was no longer scared of him but then he too felt a
strange attraction towards this 16 year old boy.

'Is
this love that I feel towards Kayo,' Mitsuko thought before letting
his wings disappear.

Kayo
walked back to the lounge and sat down, staring at the floor for some
time. It was a lot for Kayo to take in but at least Mitsuko wasn't
there to tell Kayo that he was going to die. In his head he could
imagine millions of ways that Mitsuko could kill him, each gruesome
in some way.
